I take it you were looking at that one too? I originally had it on my watch list cause I was just interested in the frame. As tends to happen that ended up being a "Well, it is a good deal and I have been wanting a Ti hardtail...."

I see a lot of people going with longer forks on the Raijin. I'm gonna use a 100 G2 fork and see if that doesn't recreated that quick steering the Unit had without making it too twitchy.

Curious as to what BB and cranks you're going to use? The BB thing in the last 5 years has been dizzying. I've gone from a threaded BB on my unit to GPX on a diSSent to BB95 on a Superfly and now PF30. Literally every new frame I have to go with new cranks and BB, can we get a standard and just stick with it for a while?

The only cranks I have sitting around are some old truvativ GPX and some '09 saint SS, neither of which would probably be ideal. I guess I better nut up and buy some PF30/BB30 lighty light cranks and just stop buying new frames so much.

Does Ebay count as an authorized dealer?

not trying to give you a hard time, just curious in case i come across an ebay for myself.

Sure, if it's a LBS that's an authorized Kona dealer and it's a brand new frame.
